The Portal, a search engine for data that transforms the way metadata, business rules and models are located and accessed in the enterprise, and provides global visibility into corporate data assets and gives ER/Studio Enterprise users an unprecedented understanding of the information in their enterprise and facilitates company-wide collaboration.
An important feature of the Portal are all great technical and business reports that come standard with the tool. Users and administrators can extend the capabilities of the Enterprise Portal with new reports and charts.
Take a few minutes and learn how to create new reports and integrate them into the Enterprise Portal by using the same tools that were used to build the Enterprise Portal itself.

I’d like to invite you to participate in the Enterprise Data Modeling survey being conducted by Wilshire and Technics (Steve Hoberman’s publishing company). There was a similar survey two years ago which was designed by Steve and Graeme Simsion, to which over 500 people contributed responses.
It’s intended to assess some key aspects of data modeling practice and skills within enterprises, so if you work in a modeling role or manage modelers then we welcome your participation. If you’re a consultant in a similar capacity you are welcome also, but please answer the questions for your client environment only.
Recently I had the pleasure of being on DM Radio with host Eric Kavanagh to discuss Customer Data Integration. There was some great discussion between Aaron, Martin, Robert and myself about the challenges and best practices of managing customer data. If you missed the live broadcast, no need to worry! You can click the link below to listen. Enjoy!
Knowing your customer can make all the difference in the world. But the number of data sources these days makes the challenge increasingly difficult. From unstructured data in places like Twitter, FaceBook, MySpace and other such sites, to the highly structured world of enterprise data warehousing, the possibilities for knowing a customer are virtually endless… as are the potential pitfalls. Find out what your organization can do about it by tuning into this episode of DM Radio! We’ll talk to Aaron Zornes of the MDM Institute, Jason Tiret of Embarcadero, Martin Moseley of Initiate Systems, and a special guest.
